What is that there on yonder hill
Awash with red so deep?
What does it have that draws me near?
What secrets does it keep?
>
My heart is caught, my eyes are set
Up to that hill I tred
There’s something there, I know not what
But oh, that deep, deep red
>
I hear the story, I know it’s true
but I do not know the why
A man, they say, but more than a man
went to that hill to die
>
For me? I ask, but why for me?
What did I e’re do wrong?
And then I heard a still, small voice
Sing out an ancient song
There was no answer I could give
upon that old, old hill
I saw the red, I heard the cries
I know I always will
For me, for me, I hear the song
I weep because it’s true
He came, He loved, He gave his life
For me, and friend, for you.
Upon that hill, that ancient hill
I always want to stay
For there I know my Savior bled
and set me free that day
